For over a decade, Unsigned Only has been a trusted launching pad for independent musicians looking to gain industry recognition without the backing of a major label. Known for its genre-spanning competitions and panels of real-deal industry professionals, the organization continues to spotlight raw talent from across the globe.
Now, it’s down to the final stretch of their annual Triple Play initiative, and Unsigned Only is giving artists one last chance to get in on the action. The final week of the campaign—called Pick A Promo!—runs from May 28th to June 8th and offers a unique opportunity for those who may have missed their earlier promotional contests.
A statement from the company discloses that, "From May 28th to June 8th, 2025, we’re giving you the opportunity to enter your music into any special promotion that Unsigned Only has offered throughout the year."
This means musicians can now retroactively submit to any of the themed promotions they may have missed—whether it was a genre-specific showcase, a holiday highlight, or one of the other limited-time opportunities previously available. Even better, each submission made during Pick A Promo! "will also be entered in the overall 2025 Unsigned Only Music Awards!"
In essence, this final window is a second chance for emerging artists to share their music, get heard by industry gatekeepers, and potentially gain the visibility they’ve been working toward. With past judges including the likes of GRAMMY winners, label executives, and established artists, the stakes are high—and so is the potential payoff.
Artists interested can submit their music HERE.
